"The new BlackBerry Curve smartphones are absolutely stunning and offer a significant performance upgrade with an unmatched mobile social experience for the millions of feature phone users in the market as well as our existing Curve customers." The new BlackBerry Curve smartphones are ergonomically designed with a keyboard for fast, accurate typing and an optical trackpad for one-handed navigation.
